Abstract

Physical computing is utilizing principles of computing in the process of expressing one's ideas creatively and implementing them into tangible objects by combining hardware and software. Recent deployment of open source hardware and 3D printers increased the accessibility of physical computing. However, incorporating these into educational practices requires teachers' interest and competencies. This study aims to share the perceived opportunities of developing physical computing based lessons and challenges from teachers' experiences while primary teachers participated in learning fundamentals of physical computing and developing lessons. The findings of this study provide implications to the teachers who are interested in adopting physical computing into classes and in designing teacher training programs.

피지컬 컴퓨팅은 하드웨어와 소프트웨어를 결합하여 추상적 아이디어를 창의적으로 표현하고 구체적인 산출물로 만드는 과정에서 컴퓨팅 원리를 활용하는 것이다. 최근 오픈소스 하드웨어 및 3D 프린터의 보급으로 피지컬 컴퓨팅에 대한 접근성이 높아졌다. 그러나 이를 교육 현장에 접목하기 위해서는 교사의 관심과 역량이 뒷받침되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 초등 교사들이 피지컬 컴퓨팅 관련 기본 소양 교육을 받은 뒤에 그 과정에서 경험한 피지컬 컴퓨팅 교육의 기회와 도전적 요소를 제시하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 피지컬 컴퓨팅에 대해 관심을 가지고 있는 교사들과 피지컬 컴퓨팅 교사 연수 프로그램 구성에 시사점을 제공한다.
